... View MoreNot sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View MoreShort and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerThe story begins with a bang but grinds to a halt. The middle part of the film is very slow and labored. The ending is great. The realizations and the twists are what make the film very good.The pacing is very slow but it builds up towards the end. The pacing is the worst part about the film. The runtime is also overlong.The acting is good. Rebecca Hall, Dominic West, and Isaac Hempstead Wright all do a great job.Pro: Great beginning and ending, good acting, and seeing Rebecca Hall naked is a plusCons: Very slow pacing, the middle part of the film is extremely slow, and an overlong runtimeOverall Rating: 7.0
... View MorePeople review this movie good because they think it is so complicated. The movie is not to be understood, this is because things don't match up. People might give the movie a high rating because they don't fully understand the movie, but that's the writer's fault, cause it honestly has a plot that does not make sense. The story line is all over the place and illogical. Even when we are talking about the paranormal, the plot is still really illogical and unclear. The movie is lonely, tedious and has some nice shots that give you a sense of ambiance. But after all it is definitely not strong. Slim entertainment and no wisdom being acquired from this movie. If people are amazed by this movie they haven't seen much other good movies,I have seen plenty good movies and this 1 will get 2/3 stars.
... View MoreOMG,I watched this based on the good reviews. What where those people thinking? Or more accurately, what drugs where they on? This movie is a train wreck. It is all over the place, confusing, convoluted, and just plain poor. The people who made this were trying to be clever, but in the end it was just lazy writing and super poor directing. The production values also stunk, sometimes the quality came across no better than a video game.Every "jump scare" was predictable and done a million times before. Every premise used was copied directly from other (better) movies. I think that's why they kept twisting the story, so they could use all these cliques and say it was original.SPOILER ALERT Okay, so here's a spoiler as an example of what you can expect. A guy is sent to get this woman to investigate a haunting at a boarding school. He say's he's sent by the head Mistress. Later in the movie, it turns out the head Mistress is a ghost. When the guy finds out that the protagonist was talking to her he say's surprisingly, "only the three of us are at the school," meaning him, her, and the grounds-keeper. So, did he know the head Mistress was a ghost? Judging from the surprised response stated in the last sentence, you would think not. On the other hand, if he didn't know, then where the heck was the head Mistress that sent him. In fact, the ghost even says that she sent for her. This is just a sample of the utter nonsensical rubbish that made up this entire movie. The writers tried to sound clever by creating all these loose strings but never tied them up - in essence, the movie was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.Oh, did I mention don't waste your money or an hour and a half of your life watching this garbage.
... View MoreAverage movie. Despite very good words in other comments I struggled with plausibility of acting. To me it seemed to be overdone in terms of emotions, somehow unrealistic. I can't say that plot is somehow original either. The whole idea was initially good, I liked the beginning, but there was something missing, something that would tie everything together. What was the role of a man walking around with a hunting gun? Was it necessary for the whole idea? What about the leg and knife scene? I didn't understand this. The love story emerged unbelievably. Regarding some technical aspects - picture was grainy, I can't find it original. Do not know was it purpose of the camera man, seemed like an old camera was use with low tolerance for low light. The film I was watching before this was The Orphanage, something that I liked very much and perhaps set the standards too high. Find out by yourself does this movie meets your expectations.
